Deep plane SMAS - how does the SMAS get reattached?

August 7, 2023
Asked By:RobJames in San Francisco, California

Thankfully all is well after my deep plane smas and eye lift and a few other things. A general set of questions I do not see answered on this amazing forum are of a academic nature. And other may be as interested as I am. That is, when the SMAS is repositioned there is a lot of tension on this SMAS. How mechanically is that held into place? Yes, I know with stitches, but to what? How wide an area is stitched? How careful should one be to avoid detaching the SMAS? Is facial massage ok?
